Evaluation of decalcified allogenic bone matrix grafts in and around root apices. A histological study. Indian Journal of Dental Research. 1992 Apr-Jun; 3(2): 43-6http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/51871Decalcified Allogenic Bone grafts were implanted in and around eighteen root apices after apicoectomy. The procedure was carried out on eighteen rabbits, dividing them into three groups of six rabbits each. The animals were sacrificed after 48-72 hours, 8-10 days & 8-10 weeks period of interval. Result of the present investigation reveal that DABM grafts stimulate osteogenesis and cementogenesis after the initial phase of inflammation. Tissues simulating bone and cementum appear at the apical end, speculating that the grafts would certainly result in physiological sealing of root apices. The possibility of saving the life of non vital teeth with or without wide apical foramen will enhance in future.engAnimalsApicoectomyBone Matrix --transplantationCementogenesisOsteogenesisPeriapical Tissue --growth & developmentRabbitsRoot Canal Therapy --methodsTooth Root --growth & developmentJournal Article
